The concept of this app and service is great. But there are some BIG issues…
1) No 2 factor authentication with Amazon.
They promote how secure everything is with their service. However, they do not support interacting with Amazons two factor authentication. So you actually have to make your Amazon account less secure in order to use it with this service! Seriously?
2) Cannot monitor more than one email address.
Paribus says if you want to use more than one email address for purchases then you have to set up a separate Paribus account for each email address. Thats pretty silly with todays technology, but fine we can do that.
However, the app will only let you log in to one of those Paribus accounts at a time. So you have to manually sign out and sign back in every time you want to check the other email addresses. Thats absolutely ridiculous.
3) Despite promoting how security focused they are, the only way you can receive payment is if you give them your credit card number and info. They do not support more modern online options such as PayPal, Venmo, etc.
This is a great idea, but just not ready for prime time yet.
